Burkina military restores constitution, gives deadline for new leader

OUAGADOUGOU Nov 15 (Reuters) - Burkina Faso's military
ruler said on Saturday he had restored the constitution that was
suspended when President Blaise Compaore was toppled after mass
protests last month.

Lieutenant Colonel Isaac Zida, who declared himself head of
state on Nov. 1 after Compaore resigned and fled the country,
said political actors had until 1200 GMT on Sunday to propose a
leader of the transition to civilian rule.
